Lace grafting

I am currently working on a new shawl - the first of my own design or actually composition since I'm just putting together different patterns. It has has a border pattern of mini chevrons and then transitions in to the Pointed Stripe pattern.

Because all of the patterns are directional I want to knit each side seperately and then graft in the middle. I really want the Pointed Stripe pattern to look uninterupted at the center but will a graft work OK with that pattern or am I stuck repeating my transitional pattern in order to make the graft invisible?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean but you purl all of the even rows and then go back to the pattern on the odd rows. So would a "resting row" be the purl row? I love the word kludged but what does it mean exactly?
